I bought the Atom SL Hoody to replace one that I bought several years ago. The original was the most versatile jacket I have ever owned. The updated version has similar functionality in a range of temps and conditions. My only complaint on the newer version is that it is only really comfortable around the neck if zipped al the way up or unzipped to the chest. The older jacket was more comfortable, as you could leave it unzipped just at the bottom of your neck and it would fall properly. Good hood, fitted shape with good stretch. Best lightweight insulated jacket that you can buy.

Bring Back The Old Version!
A step backward. Last years jacket was much better. This has gone so far downhill that I begin to question if Arcteryx still has the same company values as it once did. Cheap and thin. A lesser jacket for the same price. For the love of outdoors, please revert back to your previous version with the storable brim hood, sleeve cuffs, etc. you think your are innovating, but you are ruining your brand

Light And Breathable
Really nice light weight breathable jacket. Only thing I don’t like are the cuffs. I would have preferred a cuff like the one on the regular atom or an adjustable option. It goes past the wrist which is annoying.

Most Comfortable And Versatile Jacket
This is my go-to jacket that comes with my no matter the season or adventure! Works great as a lighter mid-layer during ski season, early morning hikes in the summer, or even around the campfire. I also used it quite frequently during my runs to work in the Feb/Mar months and love the breathability of the material underneath the arms. All that aside, my favourite thing about this jacket is its comfort - I find myself always reaching for it even in the city on cooler days.

Great Replacement For My Atom Lt
I own an Atom LT Hoody that I have worn for years and recently replaces with the Atom SL Hoody as my youngest son has taken ownership of the LT. Overall this is a great replacement. It sheds light rain and is the prefect jacket for everyday use in moderate weather. It is also remarkably light. I am 5' 9" 170LB athletic build and the medium fits nicely.

Perfect Weight For Spring Hiking!
I love the weight of the Atom SL and the bright color. It's great for spring hiking or late winter/early spring running. The material and quality are great. My only complaint is that the Women's S is a bit tight across the chest and the Women's M is a bit too loose, so it feels less flattering than some of my other Arc'teryx jackets. It fits my friend who is taller than me a bit better!

Versatile And So Good
Brilliant, super lightweight and versatile piece. Personally, I much prefer the redesign to the previous iteration. It wears really well under a harness for a cool weather climbing layer, and the cut is not restricting - plus it is stretchy where it needs to be. This is a piece that I feel everyone can find a use for. For me, it's a go-to climbing piece that I can layer under a bigger puffy or just use by itself, and then easily head to the pub or grocery store after and wear as a stand alone layer. Packs down to nothing, looks slick, and is comfortable to wear. Massive fan!!

High Alpine Weapon
This iteration of the Atom SL is my favorite yet, and I have already used it for a variety of activities including scrambling, hiking, ski mountaineering, and even travel. That said, it is a niche piece and it's worth understanding what it is: 1. I think of this as a lightly insulated windshell. Fantastic for changing conditions, windy ridgelines, and that little bit of needed warmth while still moving or transitioning. 2. The hood is now an under-helmet fit. Some people prefer the wider storm hood, but I like this version and have tucked it under my rock/ski helmets as well as into the zipped jacket itself when I want it out of the way. 3. This is NOT your emergency puffy/warm piece, unless it's high summer. The insulation is quite light and only in the torso. To me, this is a huge advantage - I can carry something that covers a broad range of conditions, especially when paired with a Nuclei + hardshell for a full system of warmth and protection in alpine environments. Just don't buy this thinking it is your workhorse puffy piece for all situations. Overall, the new Atom SL is a great example of the type of piece Arc'teryx does best, high-performing and versatile in alpine environments, light and packable, trustworthy and always at hand.

Like The Previous Design Much Better
Not as happy with the redesigned Atom SL, bought one 2 years ago that I love and is perfect, this one not so much. It feels flimsier and the cut is not as comfortable. Sleeves are thin and not as wind resistant as before

Fantastic Atom Hoody
This is my first Atom SL hoody, and I'm realy impressed. I have had Atom LT hoody since 2010, and I love this jacket. Atom SL has a perfect fit, and is a great all year jacket. It fits really great under other jackets, and can be used as a outer jacket. Atom SL will be my favorite jacket.

Good, But Not Good Enough
Same sizing as atom and atom lt. but the opening in the arms at the wrist are bigger and wider than the other atom jacket. Big enough that it become at irritation for more

The Most Versatile Insulated Layer Ever
This is the 3rd Atom hoody for me, just an amazing versatile insulated layer for anything and any season. It's also stylish for casual use. Super light but very very durable. I hope Arcteryx will never stop producing it!
